Picking up your hire car at Avis Southampton Airport
From the arrivals / baggage claim follow signs to the exit. Once in the main hall, go through the doors directly in front of the exit.
On exiting the building turn right and proceed to the pedestrian crossing leading into the multi-storey car park. Once across the pedestrian crossing, and prior to entering the car park, you will find the Car Rental Office, situated to the left. The Avis desk is located in this building, and is where you will collect your keys and sign the paperwork.
Avis Southampton Airport car rental spaces are located at the far end of the short-term car park on the same level. Your rental vehicle will be parked in a designated Avis Rent A Car bay.
You will have been given an exit ticket so you can exit the car park. Follow the signage to exit the car park itself and take a left turn once you have passed through the exit barrier.
Once you leave Southampton Airport follow the signs for the major road networks.
